I'm not a scrappy person and, obviously I can't see potential. I didn't like the quilt at all when I first saw it. It's just totally not my style. What you did with that quilting was magical! It transformed the "what I considered" a Plain Jane mish mash of a quilt top to a Drop Dead Gorgeous Quilt that I would be proud to have in my house. You are the quilt magician. Kudos!!!!
Thank you so much for explaining how you came up with the design. When I first starting quilting I thought the quilting should echo the piecing. After looking at the pics on this board for only a very short time, I realized quickly that the quilting I liked was the ones like you did here. Thanks for the education and the beauty.
After reading your commentary again, it seems I need to become more familiar with Karen McTavish's work.

Marvelous ideas. I appreciate your sharing with us your way of determining a quilting motif. It makes wonderful sense when you show us how to do it and then show us how it was executed. At least a great number of us struggle with this area of quilting. Thank you! It is a great lesson for today.

Unbelievable! You're a miracle worker. I have a new LA and 10 charity quilts waiting for me to come up with an idea on how to quilt them. I love playing with my new toy but it's like pulling hen's teeth to figure out how to quilt them. Thanks for the insight. I think I'm inspired.
